Comments

Consider sequence A002144 of primes congruent to 1 (mod 4) and equal to x^2 + y^2, with y>x given by A002330 and A002331; sequence gives values y^2 - x^2.

Odd legs of primitive Pythagorean triangles with unique (prime) hypotenuse (A002144), sorted on the latter. Corresponding even legs are given by 4*A070151 (or A145046). - Lekraj Beedassy, Jul 22 2005

Formula

a(n)=A079886(n)*A079887(n) - Benoit Cloitre, Jan 13 2003

a(n) is the odd positive integer with A080109(n) = A002144(n)^2 = a(n)^2 + (4*A070151(n))^2, in this unique decomposition into positive squares (up to order). See the Lekraj Beedassy, comment. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 13 2015

Example

The following table shows the relationship
between several closely related sequences:
Here p = A002144 = primes == 1 mod 4, p = a^2+b^2 with a < b;
a = A002331, b = A002330, t_1 = ab/2 = A070151;
p^2 = c^2+d^2 with c < d; c = A002366, d = A002365,
t_2 = 2ab = A145046, t_3 = b^2-a^2 = A070079,
with {c,d} = {t_2, t_3}, t_4 = cd/2 = ab(b^2-a^2).
